Cambodians not growing.. newbie needs help
    #8349282 - 05/01/08 11:46 AM (15 years, 10 months ago)

Hello all, I'm in my thirties and have now decided after over a decade, it's agin time to cultivate some of the gods little helpers for my personal research..
I ended up with 10ml of Cambodian and a rice growbag from a uk based company (magicplants) and in a place where its totally halal to grow (not uk of course!) attempted cultivation.
Well the jive about the Cambodians is that they grow super quick and the mycelium is spread over the bag after 7 days! Well its been seven days and not a trace of mycelium.. Should i be worried? I admit that im a total amateur and conditions aren't the super ideal but i had hoped that i wuold see some progress by now. I sterilised the kit and placed it some sterilsed cooking bowls wich were eventually put inside some clean bin bags and placed in a nylon. I injected the bag with about half of the syringe (5ml). Could it be too cold in my flat (21-25C / 71-77F) ?? . Have i been duped? Maybe more patience? I am considering to buy a new bag from another supplier (myco-farm.co.uk?? kits only - no spores) .Any way some advice or help or comments would be mostly apriciated.

Love and peace - Scandoman

Go to the cultivation forum, you'll find all the help you need there.

They like to incubate in a hot environment. I remember not seeing growth when my incubator was hovering around 25C so I took a bold move and upped it to around 29C and in the next couple of days they really started to flourish.

No. 29C or 84.2F is WAY too warm. This has been stated and proven several times on this forum.

Hence why I said, "I took a bold move"... I was aware that it had been mentioned on the forums and further realized I could have lost all my jars, but it worked! However, I would only adjust the cambo strain to this temp.

I would suggest moving it to the top of your fridge. It's a bit warmer there.

Hmmm...my Cams ripped through a quart of Rye berries in 10 days, and 50/50 Hpoo/straw bulk substrate in three!

How was the moisture in the bag? How much of the 10cc did you inject? Could/did you see clumps of spores or was it a clear syringe? What are your temps?

More info (pic?) might help.
N.B.

Ooops...never mind. I see you provided the info. I agree with those who said place bag in a slightly warmer environment than your flat.
N.B.

Well thank you brothers and sisters. I have moved them to another location in the flat (namly close to the hot water tank) almost another week on and the still no evidence of fungus .. The weather is heating up to.. (nice) By the way the liquid in the spore syringe was totally blanc.. Is that normal for cambodian spores? x

The bag has condenstation in it. The syringe was clear... Not much action going on .. yet. Can take a picture but it would be a picture of a plastic bag with full of grain with some condensation.. Peace.

Sounds like you got some Bullshit syringes... I inoculated cambodians back in the winter in a room that was 63 degrees and the cambos exploded through the substrate like nothing i've ever seen before.

That was my understanding that they should spread like wildfire.. But the word was also keep it warm. Oh well, got them from magicplants.co.uk . Seemed like an decent place but i guess one takes a gamble. What color should the spore solution be? It's soon been 14 days and nothing. I'll leave them in there until i get some new kit and the chuck it out for compost. Can anyone recomend a uk supplier?

Well the liquid in the soultion should be clear but if it has spores in it you will see little dot's in it. But sometimes they are to small to see. You might want to wait a little longer before giving up.

Cool thanks. Didn't look to be honest.. And some pics they apear to be slightly coloured.. I'm waiting a little longer and I'll let you all know. If it all goes to the nowhere and i get another kit.. any good recomendations for a resistant newbie strain? I say that because my conditions are not super ideal (however clean enough). I like the idea of growbags since it keeps it nice and simple (and clean). Golden teacher maybe? looking at this place potseeds.co.uk/mushrooms/edible.html and they sell this mycomate thingy.. All the best - Scandromio

I noticed you used the Arabic word "halal" (equivalent to Kosher). Is that common in the UK?

I am having a similar problem...My cambodians grew just fine, by the Nepal/chitwan spores & Amazon spores I bought from Sporestore are not growing. No contaminants, no mycelium, no growth period.

I make Cambodian syringes all the time, there's no colour to the solution whatsoever, if you see little black specs, that's just spore dust clumps, spores are microscopic and you can't see them.

If you've inoculated cambodians, or any strains really, you should see atleast SOME mycelium growth within 5 days.... a half-pint brf jar shouldn't take more than 15 days to fully colonize if it's cambodians, even if you're a little chilly.

Sporestore.com is a con, the guys are con-artists, don't give them your money, ever... Look up sponsers on this site and use them... I personally like the cut of ralphstersspores.com jib, but I'm sure all the other sponser sites are reputable too.
